Little House
Right Arm EP
(I’m Trying Records)
www.littlehouseband.bandcamp.com
Little House’s six-song debut kicks off with Beautiful Sweater, a sweet indie-rock song that feels like your preferred pullover: warm, fuzzy and a little well-worn. Yes, the Winnipeg four-piece is somewhat shabby in the instrumentation department but, like that special sweater, it’s the imperfections that make it beautiful. Little House’s lovable lo-fi vibe sounds best on She Said Goodbye Beautiful Avalanche and Come to Bury Us Alive. Simultaneously upbeat and melancholic, happy handclaps give away to heavy-hearted horn and gang vocals. "Oh come on scream for the avalanche," sings Little House. I hope they have their sweaters.

Bio
With a genuine focus on originality, Little House welcomes the unique talent that comes with every musician. Shaped by five close friends, all with different musical backgrounds, Little House’s sound has been described everything from “good times" to "Manitoba Road Grit" to "Surf-Psychedelia." Forming after one psychedelic in the little house (one night that produced 4 songs), their collective approach to songwriting has resulted in a vast repertoire of original songs and a very busy live schedule that has seen them share the stage with This Hisses, Cannon Bros, Olenka & The Autumn Lovers, Judy Collins and Paper Lions.
In March 2011, Little House released their long-awaited debut EP 'Right Arm' on I'm Trying Records. The EP was recorded in late October of 2010 at the Brewhouse, a large house in Winnipeg, MB where the band was living at the time. The result was a raw and energetic blend of catchy sing alongs, intense jam sections and soaring trumpet melodies. The band's greatest attribute though, is their captivating and dynamic live performance that will leave you wanting much more!
Little House's self-titled album was released on December 15, 2012 after 5 months of recording with Engineer Ron Obvious (Subhumans, Loverboy, Mise En Scene). The recording process saw some rough patches with technical issues and having money stolen while on tour, but has already begun to make it's way up local charts.?
